Not my taste at all

not good

Utter, utter shite! Everything about this is utter shite! If I could give it zero stars I would.

Could not get into this

How is this an album you need to listen to before you die. Proper shit.

telecosmic academy might be the worst song I've ever heard never mind the rest of the album from here is also terrible. at least all the songs are quite short so you get a different kind of terrible every couple of minutes. No way out is SHITE A solid 1.5. Whether it gets rated 1 or 2 is solely based on how much I liked the last song. It's a 1!

These guys suuuuuuuuck

Just sounds like harsh noise to me

Didn't enjoy it much.

Scraping the bottom of the bubble barrel. Lazy and shite.

Not sure I understand the appeal

Depressing Indie-Rock, the opening track "Soul and Fire" sets the mood for the rest of the album unfortunately. There's nothing fantastic about the track "Fantastic Disaster", but it is a disaster.

Pre-listening thoughts: I feel like we’ve been getting a lot of 90s lately. Also an American band - maybe it’ll be different than the sea of brit pop? Post/during listening thoughts: 17 songs is a lot. My perfect album length is 8-15 songs. I think if you’re over that you have things to cut. Woof this is already boring I’m sorry. Distorted guitar and vocals that seem to drone without expression or liveliness. The mixing is dookie. Wow this isn’t just boring it’s straight up terrible! This is the sort of music Mordecai from Regular Show would listen to (also lead singer sounds a little like him imo). Pretty standard indie rock (I am an indie rock hater) 1/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no. Like why does stuff like this make the list. What makes it so special that I HAVE to hear it. Fav tracks: Happily Divided Least fav tracks: literally all of them (besides any listed in favorites, those are tolerable). I cannot stand this. First two tracks were not the worst but it gets SO MUCH WORSE from there. Convinced people who enjoy this don’t actually like music sorry.

This band sounds like a bunch of 14 year old boys in a garage. The singing and the instruments are frequently out of tune. Much of this album was painful to listen to due to this. I can handle punk style screaming but maybe not in a key that clashes with the guitars. You must listen to this before you die to know that you too, no matter how tone deaf you are, can make an album.

1.5 ok-ish nonsense with some of the worst guitar tones possible

Bubble and Scrape starts off nicely enough with Soul And Fire, a decent indie style tune with some familiar sounds and elements that made me think of a dozen groups that came along later and did similar. Unfortunately, almost everything that comes after that is a mess of out of tune music, terrible singing, misused instruments, all thrown together and excused as lo-fi experimentalism. Happily Divided is the only tolerable song outside of the opener, this doesn't deserve any more than a 1.

Holy crap whoever put that on a list of any kind was straight smoking crack. If that's music then I'm Prince. This was so bad, the idea that anybody has ever listened to it is ridiculous, and the spins on spotify are proof of this.

1993 alternative. I don’t think they know what lane they’re in. The description says lo-fi folk. It’s not that.

Never heard of this band or heard this album. Bad songwriting performed by bad musicians. Completely forgettable. "There's no need to say a word"

Not for me.

good but not 1001 good first track fav

Just read the band name in Homer Simpson's voice, and you've about summed it up.

Not for me.

erittäin tylsä 46 minuuttia pitkä joka tuntui parilta tunnilta , hlyhytitä biisejä jotka tuntuivat 5+minuuttisilta kaikki. täysin turha listallaolija, verorahoilla maksettaan tälläset listalla ja ei mitään saa takaisin.. kadulle mars.. ehkä kaksi kuunneltavaa biisiä yhteensä seitsemästätoista, ei oikeen voi mitään positiivista tästä puhua, kirjotanpa vaan tekstiä kun muutama rivi kaikissa muissakin arvosteluissa... täytettä turhaan, sokeria sokeria pumppaa pumppaa pumppaa pumppaa sacred attention

I kept waiting in hope that I’d like one of the songs, I’m afraid that never happened. I’d never heard of these guys before and I think that’s for a very good reason.

I hate this kind of music. An absolute mess. Garbage mixing, weak ass vocals, meh lyrics, an all around bad experience. Truly a terrible album, which I certainly did not need to listen to. Why is this on the list? There are millions of better albums then this. Disappointing.

trash trash trash trash 1 star

what a load of shit...

Not for me-repetitive and blah

This started strong but on track four, "Fantastic Disaster" (well, they got the title half right) everything dramatically fell apart and never came back together. It's a mess. The whole album is a mess. There's nothing redeeming here, sadly.

On the plus side, this is one of the few albums of the 1001 that I haven't heard before. On the downside, it sucks. Sebadoh sounds to me like they wanted to be a grunge band but they just couldn't figure out the bite that Nirvana or Soundgarden did, and they also couldn't figure out how to be as interesting or introspective as Sonic Youth or other similar bands from the era... AKA Sebadoh suck. A few of their other albums are tolerable, and I thought this was going to be the same way based on the first track, but it was all downhill from there. Garbage album, absolutely should not be included on this list.

Massachusetts grunge? I don’t think so. Didn’t finish

Not my taste

I did enjoy this album, but for my personal taste Wilco is where I’m at.

Hmm, niet voor mij. De eerste song/single vind ik leuk omdat 't meeste pop is. Voor de andere songs ben ik niet kwaad of depressief genoeg vrees ik. Behoorlijk weirde dissonante indie trip, ook een beetje typisch 90's met niet altijd mooie distortions en een harde sound. Weet niet of dit de tand des tijds zal doorstaan.

En saanu kiinni tästä sekoilusta

Sjonge jonge, kan iemand de uitkering van dit stelletje lamstralen stopzetten en ze een baan geven in de betonfabriek of op een callcentrum? Dan doen ze tenminste nog wat nuttigs.

Twee redelijk normale nummers om de luisteraar op het verkeerde been te zetten. En dan begint de pret. Expres lekker vals zingen en wat andere oorpijnigingen erdoor heen. Eens kijken hoe lang iedereen het volhoudt. En dan doen andere(n) (lijstsamenstellers) of het geweldig is, om maar te laten zien dat ze een bijzondere smaak hebben. Ja, dag. Zowel de makers als de inzenders zijn af.

started off fairly inoffensive middle of the road indie, track 3 was unlistenable and from there it just got worse and worse

This group was popular when I was young, but I never really caught on. Listening to it, now, I'm even less impressed. It sounds like college kids trying to be rebellious or moody or rock. Not very genuine nor melodic.

Yeah, nah! 🥲🥲🥲

It's clear that the band tried to create a garage rock vibe, but in some instances, it felt like they ended up with "garbage" instead. While their grunge and indie influences shine through, there are moments when the lo-fi experimentation pushes the boundaries a bit too far, rendering some songs nearly inaudible. It's a shame because there are undoubtedly some hidden gems that echo Nirvana or Pavement within the album that could have shone brighter with a cleaner production. A big 1 for the inaudibles ones.

not for me - name so unpleasant

Not a fan.

So this guy lost creative control of Dinosaur Jr, made his own band, and then was kicked out of DJ. He should have stuck to playing bass in a decent band. Best track: Not found

Didnt do it for me but better than terrible

Сознаюсь: на этой неделе я отстал немножко от прослушивания альбомов по графику, потому навёрстываю сразу 4 за один день. Мне не понравилась Металлика. Чисто поставил 2, а не 1, потому что это Металлика. И я рассчитывал на что-то годное дальше, чтобы забыть этот неприятный опыт. Как же я ошибался... Какая же лажа ждала меня здесь. В оправдание этих парней можно только привести здесь слова из Википедии: "...Sebadoh помогли развитию lo-fi музыки, для которой характерна нарочито грязная запись, осуществляемая, зачастую, при помощи простых четырехдороженых магнитофонов". Ну и что мне с этого, конечному слушателю? Как человеку, который вырос в семье фанатов музыки Ленинградского рок-клуба, мне не нужно объяснять, что значит "плохая запись". Но типа музыке Аквариума или Кино это придаёт шарм, а здесь только усугубляет положение бедолаг-музыкантов. Здесь кажется собрались все мои болевые точки: отвратительный вокал, безобразное стерео, какофония в аранжировках... И самое страшное во всей этой истории, что статистика Spotify тоже не оправдывает ребят: больше половины песен имеют менее 100к прослушиваний, это кажется минимум на данный момент. Без этого альбома спокойно можно прожить. Что он в этом списке забыл - непонятно. Как будто просто по блату включили его сюда. Чисто "друзья друзей" или что-то в этом духе. Первая песня наиболее слушабельна, остальное - очень специфический материал.

Ну я хз как это прокомментировать. Примерно здесь проходит моя грань, но все таки что-то позитивное было , 1+

There was maybe one song on this album I liked. The rest was boring at best, complete rubbish at worst.

Not my cup of tea

I was just kinda bored and/or annoyed the whole time. I'm having a hard time thinking about the few moments I may have enjoyed because all I can remember are the parts I cringed at. If I had to choose a track to re-listen to, I might choose Homemade

I dislike this very much. 1.5/5

Ugh. Setting aside the bland first couple of songs that I was merely not enjoying, suddenly there were several songs in a row that were assaulting my ear. This album seemed to vacillate between the bleh and the horrible

I never need to listen to this again. Cliché was the only song worth anything. If I could give this zero stars I would, honestly. So much ugly.

Turned off when the harmonica came in. wtf

Ach ja ach nee. Die Dissonanz wird mir etwas zu hochprozentig ausgeschenkt. 1.4

Not good

Didn't really care for this one

Yeahnah, not for me. Every time I thought I was getting a normal track, they did something jarring and weird. Fav new track: Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)

Not for me. Don't hate it, some might like it but not me.

The album got worse as it went on. It is not good. No need to listen.

No me gustó nah, algunas canciones se escuchaban como si estuvieran rasguñando una pizarra. Había una canción que la guitarra me rompía los oídos

couldn't get in the mood for this album, was a drag for me personally

Satarts well, but when the trashy tracks arrived, I lost interest
